I am skeptical of the premise that reasoning evolved as a capacity for social persuasion and not as a means of discovery. And the authors have a rosier view of doing science than what actually occurs. Nonetheless the arguments presented in the paper do not hinge on these points and it is a delightful, compelling read.

@Laura I don't know in what science you are working, but in my field, biology, on a theoretical basis, I would not have considered that obervations cause reality, but that they reflect an event. On a more practical level, the way observations are done can cause bias in the obervation, but I would not invoke a causality, rather an inflection.
